يؤتى السفياني في منامه فيقال له: قم فاخرج، فيقوم فلا يجد أحدا، ثم يؤتى الثانية فيقال له مثل ذلك، ثم يقال له الثالثة: قم فاخرج، فانظر من على باب دارك، فينحدر في الثالثة على باب داره فإذا هو بسبعة نفر أو تسعة نفر ومعهم لواء فيقولون: نحن أصحابك، فيخرج فيهم ويتبعه ناس من قريات وادي اليابس، فيخرج إليه صاحب دمشق ليلقاه ويقاتله، فإذا نظر إلى رايته انهزم، ووالي دمشق يومئذ وال لبني العباس
Al-Sufyani will come in his dream and it will be said to him: Get up and go out. He will get up and find no one. Then he will come a second time and it will be said to him like that. Then he will be told a third time: Get up and go out and see who is at the door of your house. The third time he will go down to the door of his house, and he will find seven or nine people with a banner. They will say: We are your companions. Then he will go out among them and people from the villages of Wadi Al-Yabis will follow him. Then the owner of Damascus will go out to meet him and fight him. I saw him defeated, and he became governor of Damascus at that time and of Banu Abbas
